I've never had any problem with humidity in my ammo. I store it in cans as well and have some stuff dating back to the 1970's in bandoleers, cartoons, links...

Yeah, its a non-issue imo, unless you live in a hut in the jungle. Most ammo is made out of lead/copper/brass which is corrosion resistant. Unless you dunk it water for 24 hours, it should be good to go.

Now older blue steel guns will rust if left in a safe or wherever you put them. A little desiccant in the old safe or in a case is a good safety precaution against rust, imo. Especially if you leave them in there 4-5 years without any attention.

I've got an electric dehumidifier from Cheaper Than Dirt... Plug it into a wall outlet for an hour or two to dry the silica, then unplug and place in the safe. Approx $27. Love it.
